THE INDEPENDENT WARGAMES GROUP.

Tonight seems a good time to put my blog to bed, pending my house move next week.
I gave myself a bit of a shock moving my armies up my new house, there seemed an awful lot of boxes.
I dread to think what things will be like when I collect all my magazines and books that a friend kindly stored, for 5 years!
